So is the US slipping into Civil War?
So is the US slipping into Civil War?
People keep talking about "Federalizing the National Guard" and now you've got other States pledging their NG to Texas in defiance of the Supreme Court (see image).
So is this what CW2 looks like?
P.S. I'm a Brit

Taking into account the overall average of all the comments posted to tour question:
It looks one the answer is:
No one knows.
And as usual, the ones that act like they do know, are specifically the ones you should ignore.
Thanks for the summary. I just heard about the Florida State Guard in another comment. It's been reactivated and I'm honestly more shocked that's happened than this new thing. Creating an army separate from the main government is kinda the definition of starting an armed rebellion. But no ones panicking. The last time Florida had a state guard was WWII when it made sense cos the NG left.
But there's no war. Everyone seems very calm and complacent right now.
Which makes me wonder - do you reckon Trump is shouting this stuff and Florida is provoking the Federal Government could be so Biden federalises so Reps can start shouting "Inssurection" and accuse him of doing what Trump did?
So basically pretend to sart a Civil War and if/when Biden moves to protect the Union Trump can scream - "EVIL INSSURECTIONIST DICTATOR".
Cos that seems like a really, really stupid and dangerous thing to do. Normalising this level and extreme of sabre rattling is not good.
